Move On Out, Move On Up...
So I'm standing at a crossroads, a good one. Such a small matter it is, in the light of God's eternal Son, but I feel that a career move is up ahead. Tonight I have a very important meeting with a company who may be looking to hire me. I know that it's all in God's hands and I have nothing to fear, and there are no "buts" attached to that.
The line of abuses has drawn itself out too long, and the time to cut and move is coming. I'm excited for what's around the bend, I know that from here on out, things will get better. Things will get harder, but often, the better things are harder to get to and work for. I know now that I have a big responsibility coming, in providing for myself and someone else perhaps within the next year or so. Flat out, I can't survive on the money I'm making currently... and I'm still living with my parents! I don't have to worry about rent or anything of that sort (yet), all I have to worry about is $150 a month for Charlotte, my car, and her gas. Even so, I am struggling. I named this blog "Move On Out, Move On Up..." because that's what's going on right now. I'm moving on from the insanity I'm in right now into a new place, where I won't keep losing my mind. I'm moving up to a higher level, a place where I can be professional and use my creativity.
On another note, Fall is here. It starts tomorrow doesn't it? I'm excited for the new weather and I'm hoping it can be a new season for me. I'm actually liking this change, with ugg boots, sweaters, and HEATERS! I'm working on getting a butload of pictures up to sum up my summer. So many new strange things are happening, but they are all beautiful changes. I'm beginning to not think by myself anymore... not that I'm not me and that I can't think for myself, but as Allison said, the whole is larger than the sum of the two. Only a select few know.
The Newness Allstars are sticking together through thick and thin, and Zech is coming home soon. I'm mainly hanging out with Nate and Brittany, these are my close friends. Brittany has given me such sound advice about a lot of important things. Leandra and I have greatly come to appreciate her solid personality, and her great advice. Nate and I have grown as good friends in the last couple months, through all the crap we've gone through: me with Galapagos, him with Sudan, me with my work, him with his, and pretty much everything else. We're all (Brittany especially) waiting for Zech to come on home.
The month of October is going to be an awesome month. From Oct. 19-21, the Newness Allstars are planning a trip up North to Mammoth for the weekend. Jeremy, Leandra, Nate, Elise, Steve-O, and I are all heading up for good mountain eating, biking, hiking, and maybe some fishing. I am very excited about it, any trip to Mammoth is a trip for me, and staying up there is a huge deal, waking to mountain air and the sunrise is absolutely priceless to me. Zech is coming back this month, as I've stated a couple times, and that's exciting for us because of the couple's stuff that we'll be doing. Zech, Brittany, Leandra, and I will have at least a few fancy dates to go out to nice restaurants, dress up, and basically have fun. Flatfoot 56 (get some) is playing in October in El Cajon, and Halloween is waiting at the end of it for us. We'll probably end up having a costume "Harvest" party/festival/whatever at mine or Zech's house. So October is going to be fun, and I await it eagerly.
Things are moving more quickly than ever, especially as far as a career is concerned. Last night, I met with an important person in the company I'm looking at, and the meeting was more than productive. This guy was extremely passionate about his work, and more passionate about the reason for which he is working. We hit it off very well, and it was very exciting. Basically, this guy would want me (perhaps, of course) to come out and be mentored by him in Huntsville, Alabama. Of course, I set a minimum time limit on this, it would have to wait at least six months. (There's just no way it could be sooner) However, as a whole we are excited about this new opportunity. I seek to sell myself into full-time slavery for the Gospel, the great message of justice, wrath, mercy, and repentance that Christ Himself gave. I won't fall short of this call.
There are so many more things I could write out, but many of them are personal that I should just tell those of you in whom I have found trust privately. The written word is so freeing, but it can be also so limiting, and I won't allow any limits... any more.
